I like to see a url not a blind link, people are using it to disguise ref links and malicious sites.
And I don't link posting full URL's, as I like to do stuff like this:

It's called 'glamour red' and it's pretty sexy.

Anyone recommend me any apps?
Well, it's really really red, lol. Anyway, here is a list of apps that are a must have for me:
- Xposed Framework (Let's you add a lot of amazing stuff, without changing your System or APK's. Rooted device required)
- Total Commander (The best file explorer there is, available for Windows as well)
- Poweramp (Amazing music player)
- Uninstall (It's an app to remove System apps (bloatware and what not), Root required)
- Link2SD (Allows you to move apps to your SD and has a lot of other useful options. Rooted devices only. Be sure to read this to understand how awesome it is).
- SD Maid (Amazing cleaner app)
- AndroIRC (Great app, if you are a vivid IRC user)
- Battery+ (A good battery information app, very good at guessing how long your phone will last)
- Titanium Backup (Good for backuping apps and their data, requires Root, bit hard to get)
- BSPlayer Free (Very good movie player with automatic subtitle search)
- MoonReader (Amazing app for reading PDF's, ePUB's, etc)

Anyway, this is a useless thread as it won't be removed, ever. This will most likely turn into a post padding tread.

I like to see a url not a blind link, people are using it to disguise ref links and malicious sites.

Example

I'm using from 22th April some unknown cloud mining service named: Scryptsy.com
It seems that this site has nothing with Cryptsy exchange.
I can say that for now withdraw was everyday and everything was fine.

And scores 7/7 on the Ponzimeter.
Nice hidden ref link btw.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
1. You can avoid it by adding 'nobbc' tag.

www.yahoo.com

Code:
[nobbc]www.yahoo.com[/nobbc]

2. It won't be removed as that option is useful for creating hyperlinks.(see Zorrocoin's post above)

If you want to add a link with custom text then this option is useful, normally when you write a url its diplay/anchor text is same as url but using hyperlink tag you can change it.

hee-ho.
So the insert hyperlink button still appears at the top of the comment box when making a post, but if one types a url - www.yahoo.com - the website address automatically turns into a hyperlink. Seems like the button has become obsolete, should it be removed as a default option from the post menu?

Thanks.

it's still useful if you want to do this

try quoting me if you're wondering how to do that
